Alkoxides of beryllium [Be(OR)_(2)]_(6) usually have associated strutures with both mu_(2) - bridging and terminal OR groups. For example [Be(OCH_(3))_(2)]_(6) is a high polymer insoluble in hydrocarbon solvents. On the other hand, tertiary - butoxy derivative is less condensed being only a trimer [Be(O-t-Bu)_(2)]_(3) With bulky alkoxide groups the beryllium compound exists as monomers which have

1.	Alkoxides of beryllium [Be(OR)_(2)]_(6) usually have associated strutures with both mu_(2) - bridging and terminal OR groups. For example [Be(OCH_(3))_(2)]_(6) is a high polymer insoluble in hydrocarbon solvents. On the other hand, tertiary - butoxy derivative is less condensed being only a trimer [Be(O-t-Bu)_(2)]_(3) With bulky alkoxide groups the beryllium compound exists as monomers which have
Answer» Linear structure with `180^(@)` BOND angle Trigonal PLANAR structure with `120^(@)` bond angle Tetrahedral structure with `190^(@)28^(3)` bond angle Distorted tetrahedral structure with more than `109^(@)28^(1)` in interal C - Be - C bond Solution :Beryllium compounds which exists as MONOMERS have linear structures with bond angle `180^(@)C`
